Guess what? We have the perfect way to see holiday lights this season, and you don’t even need to leave your car.

Drive through a Winter Wonderland at Portland International Raceway from November 29 - December 31. Enter to win!

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • Post-Thanksgiving? Come lie to your face! It’s the Best of Pants On Fire! at White Eagle Saloon, where storytellers spin insane tales, and you guess who’s full of it. Win big. Laugh harder.*

  • The Early November and Hellogoodbye are teaming up for the 20 Years Young Tour — a full-blown emo/pop throwback that’ll make you feel everything (again). Get tickets for Wonder Ballroom in March.

  • As the voice behind Wilco, Jeff Tweedy’s catalog is basically an emotional survival kit: gentle, ragged, funny, devastating. Catch him for two nights at Revolution Hall.

  • Father John Misty is bringing the gospel of beautiful chaos. Josh Tillman’s alter ego is part rockstar and part poet; don’t miss him in Eugene in April.

  • Gary Owen is comedy’s ultimate curveball, and he’s been delivering for over two decades. From BET stand-up specials to Netflix sets and roles in Think Like a Man, get tickets for the No Hard Feelings Tour in May.

THANKSGIVING DINE-IN & TAKE-OUT

Turkey season’s here — and Portland’s got options. Whether you're feeding a full table or just want to outsource the chaos, we rounded up the best spots doing Thanksgiving right. Think: wood-fired stuffing, deep-dish gratitude, heritage birds, vegan feasts, and pie lineups that require a spreadsheet.
